Natural vs. Synthetic fibers

Hi Ladies, another noob question! I haven't started prepping anything yet, but don't want to mess up early on. I bought GroVia, SunDiapers, and think I'm going to add a newborn starter pack of g Diapers to our registry. Would it be safe to wash all of these together? If you need more info, let me know. I hope they can all be washed together or we'll be doing a ton of laundry! I read that natural and synthetic fibers shouldn't be washed together, but don't really know the difference. Thanks in advance for your help!!

I've been cd for 6 months and throw everything in together.That could be wrong, but I've never had any issues:) I think once natural fibers are prepped so the naturally occurring oils are out of them, you're fine. the only time I separate is when I bleach my prefolds once a month.

I don't know about all grovias, but the ai2 soakers need to be washed a few times to fully prep, pockets and synthetics only need to be washed once, so you could throw them in on the last wash. I wash natural fibers and synthetic together, but I have heard the synthetic fibers can break down the natural fibers faster :(
